Sage 50 Accounts 2013 is the market-leading accounts
software that makes managing your customers, suppliers
and day-to-day finances easy.
From invoicing customers and paying suppliers, to managing VAT returns
and year-end accounts, it helps you manage all the different areas of
your business. By keeping things simple, it frees you up to focus on your
customers and your business.
We pride ourselves on listening to our customers. We helped 700,000
customers last year with support and advice through our UK-based
support centre.
So, when it came to developing a new version of our accounts software,
we spoke to hundreds of those customers, listened to their feedback
and ideas to make Sage 50 Accounts 2013 even better.
What is Sage 50 Accounts 2013?
We’ve been delivering software, services and support to help businesses with their
day-to-day challenges for over 30 years. More than 800,000 UK businesses choose
Sage to help them. Sage 50 Accounts is the market leading accounts software.
The business world is always changing. So we adapt our software and services -
whether that’s to keep up with the latest legislation, or introduce new technology.
By listening to our customers and adapting to changing business needs,
we aim to help you meet your challenges now and in the future.
Why Sage?

There’s a simple set up wizard to help you
get up and running with Sage 50 Accounts,
making it easy to start off on the right track.
Plus guides and videos within the software
will talk you through exactly what you need
to do and show you how to do it.
Because we know not everyone’s an
accounts expert, we ditch the jargon and
make sure our software uses language
you understand.
With 45 days free support, we’re on hand to
get you off to a great start with your software.
And if you want to extend that, we offer a
number of support options through our
SageCover services.
Easy to get going… and keep on going
Use Sage 50 Accounts to keep track of your
cash flow, giving you greater control of your
business.
Are you covering your costs? What payments
are due? Who do you need to chase for
payment? Sage 50 Accounts helps you manage
all this and more.
You’ll find the information you need to prepare,
generate and submit your VAT returns online all
in one place, making it easy to deal with HM
Revenue & Customs. And with things like profit
and loss and balance sheet reports available at
the touch of a button, you’re always in control of
your business.

Manage your accounts and finances
Our software is developed
in the UK, working with
HM Revenue and Customs
to ensure Sage customers
are always compliant
Keeping track of your finances isn’t just about
adding up the numbers. It’s data that can tell
you a lot about your business. For example,
who are your best customers? Or who buys
what and when?
From the suppliers who always deliver when
they say they will to the effect of offering a
discount on a line or item, Sage 50 Accounts
helps you make sense of your business.
As you record the information you need to
keep your accounts straight, you can build
up a better picture of your customers and
suppliers. How you use that information is
up to you. Sage 50 Accounts puts it at your
fingertips.
Manage your customers and suppliers
Reports can tell you a lot about your business,
helping you make informed decisions and
giving you the information you need to stay
in control.
Sage 50 Accounts comes with a choice of
reports that give you as much or as little detail
as you like. See an overview of your business
at a glance, or perform in-depth analysis with

reports that can be tailored to your business.
Manage your business with reports
that are easy to understand
